Wow, get ready to gain insight into one of the most painful situations some families must deal with: severed ties of kinship. As Muslims, family is everything. But what happens when it’s not?
Uzma kicks it off this month by sharing a major family rift and how she justifies severing ties, as well as where her reasoning falls short. We don’t ignore our own mistakes at this podcast! It’s a very intimate journey of self reflection and might help someone out there who has estranged family and wants to know how to deal with it in a healthier way.

Anse Najiyah Maxfield returns to the podcast to discuss her conversion story with us today. As an OG at Rabata, she traces its history and the birth of Project Lina. So we’ve discussed lots of issues in women’s conversion journeys last month,, but we’d be remiss to not approach it from a solutions focused lens.
Get an insightful dose of new Islam, from feeling alienated from family, toxic new Muslim education, and learning Muslim-ese (Anse’s term). Also learn what Project Lina does to help address all of these issues and more. You’ll walk down memory lane from a seasoned mother and momsister who has dozens of pearls to share with our community. Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, or click on the link in our bio to listen to the latest episode.

Kai Wingo’s energy in this episode is so refreshing mashaAllah. Her conversion story is another example of a uniquely easy one. With parental and community support as well as her own quest for knowledge, she was able to get her questions answered and revert to Islam. From Intro to Islam classes to sisterhood in sohbet (Turkish halaqa) culture, to creating unique reusable stickers to help her daughter feel represented.

In her prior life, Alex was committed to cosplay and is a seamstress extraordinaire. Check out her products to confirm!
